The ancestor memorized the address of the rental house in his mind.

He found the landlord who lived in the alley.

"I only have 2000 yuan, do you think I can rent a house? Of course, if I don't have enough money, I can still earn more."

The landlord was a slightly plump middle-aged woman with a protruding belly. When she saw the old ancestor's appearance, she could not take her eyes off him.

"That's enough. I'll charge you 2000 yuan a month. Normally, my house is rented for a minimum of six months. I don't even need a deposit. Just pay one month's rent first."

“2000 is so expensive?”

"Handsome guy, is this your first day renting a house? Why don't you go out and take a look to see what the prices are for houses in such old alleys?" The landlord was a little unhappy and cursed you as a poor bastard in his heart.

But when she looked at the old man's enchantingly beautiful face, she just couldn't bring herself to chase him away.

"Then 1500 will be enough. I'll leave you some money for food. But handsome, you still need to earn more money outside. Can't you earn money with your current situation?"

The old man thought about the way he made money, which was indeed easy to come by, and reluctantly took out 1500.

When the landlord collected the money, he actually pinched the old man's hand in a vulgar way.

The landlord took the money with a chuckle and left, swinging her slightly thick waist.

She even forgot to ask the ancestor to take out her ID card to register. She was really careless.

The old man didn't pay any attention to his hand being pinched. He was only concerned about the conditions of the house he would live in next.

The rental house in the alley of the old street has left mottled marks on its exterior wall due to the passage of time.

The wooden doors and windows are slightly worn, revealing the vicissitudes of time. The stone steps at the door have been worn smooth by people's footsteps, as if telling the history of this place.

As soon as you walk into the house, you can feel the unique atmosphere. The room is simply and plainly decorated with some old furniture, exuding a strong retro feel.

The glass on the windows was a little blurry, and through them one could see the hustle and bustle of the alley. The sunlight filtered through the cracks in the roof and sprinkled into the room, creating patches of light.

The floor is covered with old wooden floors that make a creaking sound when you walk on them. There is a wooden desk against the wall, which is piled with various books left by previous tenants.

Although the kitchen in the rental house is small, it is fully equipped.

The iron pot on the stove exudes a faint smell of smoke, and the bathroom facilities are simple but can meet basic living needs. The rental houses in the old street alleys, although simple, have a unique charm.

This made the old ancestor feel a familiar atmosphere. 1500 is 1500, but he didn't have much money on him.

The old ancestor used to be served by others. It was almost impossible for him to cook his own meals, so he always ate out.

In this way, the money was spent quickly. When he was eating outside, he saw that everyone was holding something called a mobile phone in their hands, and he wanted a mobile phone again.

He knew about this thing; all of his neighbors, tenants, and landlords had it.

He is too poor and needs to make money quickly.

In the past few days, I have seen people paying the bill in restaurants by swiping their mobile phones. I finally realized who still uses cash nowadays. It’s not that they are too old to use mobile phones.

He had originally thought of going down to the overpass and waiting to see if he could catch some more fat sheep or something, but now he felt that it was difficult.

Since he had little money left, he had to buy some cheap street food, such as fried rice noodles and fried rice, and eat them when he returned to his rental house.

This is called being caught by the landlord.

"Handsome guy, you are out of money, right?"

The old ancestor had a cold face and didn't want to show his weakness.

"With your good looks, why do you have to worry about not making money? At worst you can be a male model in a nightclub and earn a lot of money that night." The landlord smiled obscenely.

"Are you asking me to sell it?" The old ancestor immediately exuded a cold aura.

"Oh, I'm just saying it. I care about you and I'm just giving you some advice."

In fact, the landlord was so frightened by the sudden intimidation from the old man that he almost squeezed water out of his cell phone.

She looked at the phone in her hand and an idea came to her.

The landlord quickly apologized with a smile and tried to persuade in a gentle tone.

"Look, you are so good-looking, why don't you use this advantage to live broadcast? Live broadcast is very popular now, and many people have made a lot of money through live broadcast."

When the old man saw that the landlord was talking to him seriously, he put away his anger.

He hesitated, "I don't know much about live streaming, and I don't know how to do it."

"It's very simple. You only need a mobile phone and a live streaming platform account to get started. You can show your talents, interact with the audience, attract more fans, and they will give you gifts, which is all money."

The old man was still a little worried, "Your talent isn't that impressive."

“That’s OK. You can start by finding interesting things to share from your daily life, or try to learn some new skills. The important thing is to stay authentic and confident.”

The old man thought about it and felt that what the landlord said made sense, so he decided to try live streaming.

But a new problem arose. I heard that buying a mobile phone requires real-name registration. Even if he got the ID card, it would be someone else's, and he didn't want to expose himself.

Even if I have an ID card, I don’t have a mobile phone.

The landlord thought the old lady was worried that she wouldn’t be able to do a live broadcast, so she made another move.

"Handsome guy, you can learn if you don't know. Across our alley is a small river. There are many people live-streaming by the river at night. The scenery of our ancient streets and alleys is great, and those internet celebrities love to come here."

“What is an Internet celebrity?”

The landlord's mouth twitched: Does this handsome guy know nothing or is there something wrong with his brain? He has such a good-looking face and such a bad temper. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with him.

She slipped away in a hurry, making an excuse that she had something urgent to do.

However, the landlord's suggestion for live broadcast took root in the old man's heart.

If you don’t have money to buy a mobile phone, then go out and grab one. But the prerequisite is to first watch how others live broadcast and learn a little before grabbing the phone.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer, he only has about 100 yuan on him.

For dinner he went out and bought a serving of fried rice noodles, took it back to his rental house and waited for dark.

But the weather was not good and it started to rain. The old man was eager to get a mobile phone and learn how to live broadcast, so he went out of the door and walked to the end of the alley, where he saw a small river.

By the creek, the old man did not see many internet celebrities as the landlord said, because they left when they saw it was raining.

He felt a little depressed and planned to turn around and leave.

Suddenly he saw a young man next to the viewing rock near the river, talking to himself on the phone.

"Got it." The old ancestor secretly hid behind the landscape stone and observed secretly.

"My family, brothers and sisters, look at the scenery and environment here, how beautiful it is.

Although there was a light rain in the sky, I felt it was beautiful at the moment. This place not only reflects the beauty of nature, but also the cultural atmosphere of the ancient street is full..."
